Jessica has had a passion for riding since she was about 7 years old, she showed and completed in the hunter/jumper/event circuits while growing up in Texas, Oregon, and California.

If it involves hiking, camping, being on the river, or on the trail with her two horses Rev and Maggie she's all in.

I love seeing the change that happens between a rider and the horse as they gain trust and confidence in each other through our sessions and the partnership that ensues.

Samantha Camarillo, PTA
Physical Therapist Assistant
Affiliated since 2014. Licensed PTA 2016. 
American Hippotherapy Association level 2 certified, 2021.
Sam grew up in Wimberley, Texas and has a western riding background. Once she was older she never thought she would have a chance to work with horses again. But
while getting her Bachelors in Pre-Physical Therapy at Texas State she found that horses movement could be incorporated into therapy treatment sessions. She researched RED Arena online and volunteered. She saw first hand the many amazing benefits of Equine Assisted Therapy and decided then that this was the work setting for her. She loves living the easy going country lifestyle with her husband, son and two couch-potato French Bulldogs. She can often be found around local restaurants and the Blanco River.  
The thing you love most about what you do for RED!
Making my Riders smile! I love to be goofy and fun with my riders to keep them at ease and engaged. I am always up for a good laugh!
